"Impressionisti in Normandia", Istituto degli Innocenti

Impressionists in Normandy at the Museo degli Innocenti

At the museum of the Innocenti in Florence, the exhibition “Impressionists in Normandy” features a selection of works by great artists (Monet, Renoir, Courbet, Corot). From November 21 through May 4, 2025.

Exactly 150 years after the official birth of Impressionism - when a group of artists “expelled” from academia, led by Monet organized a revolutionary exhibition in Paris - this exhibition brings together a selection of 70 works by some of the leading figures of Impressionism and Post-Impressionism (Monet, Bonnard, Renoir, Courbet, Corot), illustrating their special connection with the land of Normandy.

In addition to Claude Monet's famous painting “The Pink Water Lilies” (on loan from the National Gallery of Modern Art in Rome), other masterpieces such as Delacroix's “Crags at Dieppe,Courbet's “The Beach at Trouville,” and Renoir's “Sunset” are on display. Curated by Alain Tapié, the exhibition is organized by Arthemisia in collaboration with the Peindre en Normandie Collection.
